Hey friends, it's Crypto Willy—your go-to blockchain buddy—back with your weekly rundown on the wild world of Bitcoin trading and investment strategies for the week leading up to August 9, 2025.

This week, Bitcoin’s price action had traders like Crypto Raven and legendary analyst PlanB glued to their screens. We saw Bitcoin climbing past the $114,000 mark, punching out a fresh monthly all-time high at $115,750—PlanB called that out on YouTube, giving a nod to the faithful followers of his stock-to-flow model. Market momentum flirted with $120,000, and some bold predictions out there (Brave New Coin and Changelly) put $133K as a potential target this August, with swings possible between $117K and $124K depending on how volume profiles and moving averages play out.

But not everyone’s bullish; Finbold’s machine learning forecasts dropped a note of caution, hinting at a possible average downturn to $108,000 by the end of the month, thanks to heavy ETF outflows and regulatory jitters—BlackRock’s IBIT ETF alone shed a cool $292 million in a single day. The regulatory landscape’s a chess match right now, with the U.S. House passing the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, nudging crypto tokens closer to being commodities overseen by the CFTC, while the SEC pushes the Truth Social ETF decision off to September.

Outside price action, the macro winds are blowing. Cointelegraph reports that U.S. President Donald Trump dropped a bombshell, signing an executive order allowing crypto in 401(k) retirement accounts. That’s got folks like Michael Heinrich of 0G Labs talking about trillions in retirement money possibly flooding into Bitcoin—game-changing stuff. ETF adoption is steadily creeping up too; Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan points out that spot Bitcoin ETFs are closing in on gold ETF holdings, now at $150 billion versus gold’s $198 billion as of July. Watch this race—surpassing gold could crown Bitcoin as the new digital reserve superstar.

The Diamond Pigs crew chimed in with their August 2025 newsletter, breaking down how rate cut rumors, fresh regulations, and a battle with Ethereum are stirring up the whole market. Their Bitcoin-only portfolio gained 21.1%—not bad! But their diversified and protection-focused strategies crushed it by snagging 31–49% returns, especially on Ethereum and meme coins like BONK and WIF. So yeah, sometimes mixing it up outside BTC pays off big.

Now, risk is always part of the dance. LendEDU’s August guide reminds us to size up both the upside momentum and looming risks—volatility, regulation, and the persistent question: is now really the time to buy? The Fear & Greed Index is showing greed, but volatility is moderate, with 53% green days over the past month. For the risk-savvy, averaging into positions, using trailing stops, or stacking Satoshis (dollar-cost averaging) stays hot. Technical traders are eyeing volume zones—if dips hit $110K–112K, that’s a ripe springboard for another rally.

Strategy-wise, one thing’s clear: keep tracking ETF flows, regulatory news (that September 18 SEC call could be huge), and macro triggers like global money supply growth and rate decisions (CME FedWatch tool sees a 92% shot at a September rate cut). These are shaping the new paradigm.

That’s the tempo for this week, friends!
